Two More F-Cells Enroll in College.

DaimlerChrysler has delivered two F-Cell fuel cell vehicles to the
University of California Los Angeles (UCLA).   UCLA has formed the
Hydrogen Engineering Research Consortium (HERC) which aims at
accelerating the onset of the hydrogen economy, through the development
and demonstration of technologies for the production, storage,
transportation and use of hydrogen.

Honda Incorporating Hydrogen Fueling Station Navigation System into FCX
Vehicles.

Honda is equipping all hydrogen fuel cell-powered 2005 FCX vehicles with
a Honda-developed navigation system, directing drivers to the location
of hydrogen stations, including stations being developed as part of
California's "Hydrogen Highway" Initiative.  This voice-activated system
is standard on all second generation FCX vehicles equipped with Honda's
originally developed fuel cell stack and can find and display hydrogen
stations through voice commands, including directions and driving
distances. The system currently includes a total of 26 H2 stations in
its database with nine of them outside the state of California.=20=20

Plug Power Receives DoD Contract Extension.

Plug Power Inc. has received a $943,000 contract extension from the
Department of Defense as part of the Common Core Power Production
Program.  This new funding will enable Plug Power to begin field testing
the Company's next-generation continuous-run fuel cell systems.  Under
the Program, 10 of Plug Power's 5-kW, prime power, LPG (liquefied
petroleum gas) fueled fuel cell systems will be installed and operated
at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia to confirm system reliability and
suitability for forward deployment efforts on military bases.=20

FuelCell Energy and Alliance Power to Provide Two Fuel Cells to TST.

FuelCell Energy, Inc. and its partner Alliance Power Inc. have signed of
a contract to provide two 250-kW Direct FuelCell(r) (DFC(r)) power
plants to TST, Inc., of Fontana, California, as part of a five-year
power purchase agreement.  The DFC(r) power plants are expected to be
delivered to the TST site by the first quarter of 2006.  Once the units
begin operation, running on natural gas, their waste heat will be used
to replace a large burner that preheats air as part of TST's aluminum
manufacturing process. http://www.fce.com <http://www.fce.com/>=20

NTT and Fujitsu Develop Fuel Cell for Handset.

NTT DoCoMo, Inc. and Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. have developed a new and
improved prototype methanol fuel cell for 3G FOMA(r) handsets.  The new
prototype enables eight hours of continuous talk time, three times the
capacity of the existing prototype, while still weighing the same.  The
new device is expected to greatly extend usage time once it goes into
commercial production.
